Article Synopsis
- An experimental model for chronic besnoitiosis in cattle was developed using 12 Holstein Friesian calves divided into four groups, with different inoculation routes and parasite stages.
- All infected calves displayed mild to moderate symptoms initially, but developed more severe chronic symptoms, particularly those inoculated intradermally.
- Pathological signs like conjunctival cysts and skin lesions were more pronounced in the intradermal group, indicating that the infection's severity is influenced by both the parasite stage and the route of inoculation.
